Jonathon Mincy is a good football player, but that doesn’t mean he’s a good teammate.

During Auburn’s spring game, Mincy slipped through receiver Dimitri Reese‘s blockers on a screen and lit him up with a devastating blow. Moncy was flagged 15 yards for targeting the receiver above the shoulders, which leads to an automatic ejection.

That’s right, a player was ejected in a spring game, for laying an illegal hit upon his own teammate.

BS call. He hit him in the shoulders. The helmet-to-helmet contact was due to momentum. As much as I applaud Mincy's intensity (I was taught to play each game with the same level of intensity, regardless of whether it was a scrimmage or regular season/playoffs), I do agree that the hit post-hit taunting was unnecessary.
